Think Before You Drink

(альбом: Virtue - 2018)

As a child I had no knowledge
No way to understand
My father kept me sheltered
He would hold me in his hand

You know I was protected
With no threat from anywhere
I drank my mother's milk
And I didn't have a care

But it didn't last forever
I was soon sent off to school
Where the teachers gave me poison
And I drank it like a fool

We took pride in our past
What our leaders said they fought for
To justify the murders
Of the children in the war

They said that mother nature couldn't give us what we need
And that explained the factories, and pollution in the stream

They gave us all the facts
Explaining economic war
And like a fool I listened
But I won't listen anymore

So before the final slaughter
Please stop and think
You can lead a horse to water
But you cannot make him drink

So before the final slaughter
Please stop and think
You can lead a horse to water
But you cannot make him drink
